Unavailable in English: The Death of Orvar Klein
Orvar Klein is the son of an invalid Jewish shoemaker whose father died on the day he was born. A true man of the book, Orvar turns to literature for everything he needs to know, whether it’s how to swim or how to win a fistfight. This 20th-century classic of absurd and melancholy humor celebrates the love of books and the resilience of bookworms.
